Chelsea fullback Emerson Palmieri insists his injury is "nothing serious" after limping out of Italy's clash with Finland.

The Blues left-back lasted just eight minutes of the Euro 2020 qualifier on Sunday before being substituted.

Emerson pulled up sharply after giving chase to Norwich striker Teemu Pukki, leading to him receiving treatment on the field.

"Very important victory today guys," he tweeted.

"Unfortunately I had a small injury, but it's nothing serious. Let's continue like this!"

Italy won the match 2-1 despite Emerson's withdrawal.
